The Irish coercion bill, as odious as
it is regarded by the people of Ireland,
is becoming more certain of passage.
The votes on the amendments offered
to the bill to render it less objection
able have been defeated by strong ma
jorities Notwithstanding the large
protesting meetings against it which
have been held in the United States,
the determination of the majority for
the bill in Parliament does not appear
to have undergone any change. Glad
stone and Parnell have made strenu-
Gus efforts to defeat the measure, but
apparently thus far to no effect. The
Irish people in this country and in
Great Britain cannot say this contro-
Versy has the Catholic church on the
one side and the Protestant on the
other. The two great leaders in the

he came on the stage of public life, has
been an acknowledged pillar in the
Protestant Episcopal church of Eng
land, and Parnell has always been
counted a Protestant. Religious parti-
sanship is not involved in the question
now pending in Parliament. The de-
feat of the coercion bill will give in
creased activity to emigration from Ire
land to this country, and probably to a
considerable extent to other countries.
This is an unfortunate condition of af-
fairs for that country, Ireland has a
healthful climate, productive soil, and
is not over-peOpled like some other
countries in Europe. There is room
enough for the present population at
home, and what is needed is a govern
ment suited TO the condition of the
people.

is manifested in the approaching re-
union of the old settlers of Walworth
county, which occurs ON Wednesday
June s. The society numbers nearly
1000 members" Considerable time
will intervene before the old settlers

meeting to surpass in interest former
ones.

The Sunday liquor law continues to
be strictly enforced in New York city.
The result is, every ferry boat running
from the city on Sunday is loaded with
people going after their indispensable
drink. 1t is said to be safe to calculate
that one-half Of the crowds who now
90 out of the city on Sunday are Sz0UeS
goaded with the thirst of liquor.

Supplied choirs are fast taking the
places of the quartet and mixed choirs
in the Episcopal churches in New
York city. In some Presbyterian and
Congregational churches choirs have
given place to Congregational singing,
led by a precentor and the organ or
other instrument. Plymouth church,
Milwaukee, one of the oldest in the
city, has just adopted congregational
singing. One of the wealthiest Pro
testant churches in Washington city
changed from choir music to congrega-
tional singing a dozen years ago and
found it satisfactory.

The First Sign

OF failing health, whether in the form of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in
sense OF General WEAKNESS and Loss of

noting the digestion and assimilation of
food, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify

NeCkiny n Tiger.

HOW THE PIERCE ANIMALS WERE HANDLED WITH
IMMUNITY.
The author of "Three Years of Wanderers
Life" says that he once saw three young tigers,
larger than Newfoundland dogs, loose on the deck
OF a British India steamer crowed with several
hundred Mecca pilgrims The cage in which they
were confined was large, and barred on each side,
with a partition running along its mid lie, which
had drop-door. The man who had charge OF the
animals would drive them over to one side Of tho
cage, close the partition, and clean out the other
side at his leisure; then, barring up the
clean side, he would open the partition ,; and
the same performance on the other SIDE. One
morning he neglected to put up the bars on the
side he had finished, and so drove the tigers out OF

TIE EFFORTS or THE BANK TO GET BACK IT'S MONEY.
Bank Examiner Richards, at Portland, Me-, says
concerning the Saco and Biddeford Savings In
stitution defalcation and defauter McNealIy, that
the first of1er OF compromise was received about
November 10, In q letter from Frank McNeally
dated at Cairo, Egypt, in which he agreed to sur
render the bonds on receipt OF 10000 In currency
ana an agreement on the part OF the bank not TO
prosecute This offer was rejected by the trustees
and letter was written In reply by Gen. Cieayes
counsel for the bank, and sent to McNeally by
Treasurer Kelly. This letter was non-cOmmtttal
In every respect, and intended to draw from
McNeally further proposition and lead
to more satisfactory results than now
seems likely 10 be reached The subsequent
correspondence between the two McNeallys
has been correctly published. The issuing
OF the power OF attorney to Harry Nc
Neatly to act on behalf Of the bank OF Halifax by
Treasurer Kelly was characterized by the exam
liner as voluntary exhibition OF folly, performed
gratuftOusly without any apparent motive" Said
be- "About three hours before Mr.. Kelly issued his
commission to Harry McNeally, President Goodae
assured Judge Cleaves, In my hearing, that the
bank had not and would not authorize anybody TO
represent them In procuring the release OF Frank"
MI. Richards placed but little confidence In the
promised return OF the stolen property, but be-
eyed II the bank had followed the advice or coun-
Sci McNeally would have surrendered the bonds
and thrown himself upon the mercy Of the court
In preference to starving In foreign land. Prest-
dent GOOdale also denied the report that the trus-
tees have compromised or intend TO compromise

Eating a Hundred Eggs At One Sitting.
From the New York Mail and Express


AT the Hoffman House last night party sat at
a table In the art gallery making wagers each on
his own particular trick. A young broker. who
spent last summer with his grandmother in Jer-
sey, won a pocketfui OF greenbacks On a trick
taught him by the good old lady. He had lost con-
siderable money on catch-bets when he offered to
wager any one In the party that he could eat
more eggs than any other three men present, pro-
vided he was permitted 10 have the last turn. A
doctor, a coroner, and bank-teller took the bet
After brief discussion the three gentlemen de-
ctded to tackle fried eggs. He repaired to an all
night restaurant In 9th avenue, famous for the en-
counters which men about town have had within
its portals, and ordered a batch Every man ate
and the waiter handed a check for several Dozen
Then the young broker that had learned thing
or TWO from his jersey grandmother directed the
cook to crack and spill into large pan 100 fresh
eggs Before putting the eggs into the pan, how
ever, he ordered that 1t be half filled with vinegar
His instructions were carried out After allowing
the mixture to cook reasonable time the cover
was lifted and the eggs placed in a big dish. BY
permission OF the proprietor the gentlemen inter-
eSted had watched the cooking. When the eggs
were brought forth every one except the man with
the Jersey gran mother gave vent to calculations
OF astonishnent. The 100 eggs could be convent

ate them In half dozen swallows

party.
